Fig. 5 establishes the method flow diagram that CAPWAP is connect with AC for AP container provided by the embodiments of the present application, specific to walk It is rapid as follows:
Step 500: being arranged under AP container and super thin AP, a super thin AP in a wlan and hang under an AP container.
Wherein, each super thin AP has unique MAC Address, and each AP container has unique IP address and MAC Address.
It is hung under an AP container under one super thin AP, each AP container following can hang multiple super thin AP.
Step 501: in advance that the model of the AP container (or model+sequence number) is corresponding for every kind of AP container The corresponding each image of model (or model+sequence number) for all super thin AP that image (image) and the AP container are supported is beaten In an image packet, by image packet configuration on AC.
The index of the image packet be AP container model (or model+sequence number), i.e., according to the model of AP container (or Person's model+sequence number) the image packet can be indexed.Image generally refers to the image of operating system.
In addition, the image of a default is further comprised when factory in the non-volatile memory medium (such as Flash) of AP container Packet, the image packet include the corresponding image of model (or model+sequence number) of AP container and the institute that the AP container is supported There is the corresponding each image of model (or model+sequence number) of super thin AP.
Step 502:AP container powers on, and starts itself operating system according to the image in itself Flash, issues to AC CAPWAP join (addition) message, the message carry the information such as the IP address of itself.
It should be noted that after AP container powers on, if with obtaining the IP of AC by static or dynamic mode The IP address of location, the AC that then be used directly issues CAPWAP join message to corresponding A C;Otherwise, AP container issues broadcast CAPWAP discovery (it was found that) message, then one is selected in returning to the AC in CAPWAP discovery response message It is a, CAPWAP join message is issued to selected AC.
Wherein, the specific implementation for the IP address that AP container obtains AC by static or dynamic mode can be found in IETF 3.3 chapters of RFC 5415.
Step 503:AC receives the CAPWAP join message, returns to CAPWAP join response message to AP container.
The step 504:AP container reception CAPWAP join response message, the CAPWAP connection between AP container and AC are built It is vertical.
After CAPWAP connection between AP container and AC is established, AP container can request image, config (to match from AC Set) etc..
Step 505:AP container to AC send CAPWAP image message, the message carry the IP address of itself, model (or Person's model+sequence number) etc. information.
Step 506:AC receives the CAPWAP image message, the model (or model+sequence carried according to the message Number) corresponding image packet is found, which is carried and returns to AP container in CAPWAP image response message.
The corresponding image of model (or model+sequence number) that AP container is not only carried in the image packet, takes simultaneously The corresponding each image of model (or model+sequence number) with all super thin AP that AP container is supported.
The step 507:AP container reception CAPWAP image response message, saves the image packet in the message, sends out to AC Send CAPWAP config message.
Here, if the version of the corresponding image of model (or model+sequence number) for the AP container for including in the image packet This is different from the version of the image in the Flash of AP container, then AP container is updated in Flash with the image in the image packet Image, then restart, using image start-up operation system updated in Flash, and establish with AC CAPWAP company again It connects.
Step 508:AC receives the CAPWAP config message, returns to CAPWAP config response message to AP container, The message carries configuration information.
It should be noted that different from the CAPWAP config response message that AC is returned to Fit AP, AC is returned to AP container Radio-frequency configuration information is not carried in the CAPWAP config response message returned, and only carries wired mouthful of configuration information and general Configuration information is such as: SSID (Service Set Identifier, service set), channel number etc..
The step 509:AP container reception CAPWAP config response message, saves the configuration information in the message.
In addition, the CAPWAP connection maintenance mode between existing Fit AP and AC is identical, built between AP container and AC After vertical CAPWAP connection, can by the maintenance heartbeat of CAPWAP Echo (echo) message, when a side in default heartbeat duration not The CAPWAP Echo message that other side sends is received, then disconnects CAPWAP connection.
After super thin AP is powered on, control and data channel are established with AP container.
Fig. 6 is the method flow diagram that super thin AP provided by the embodiments of the present application and AP container establish control and data channel, The specific steps of which are as follows:
Step 600: being arranged under AP container and super thin AP, a super thin AP in a wlan and hang under an AP container.

It is hung under an AP container under one super thin AP, each AP container following can hang multiple super thin AP.
Step 601: when super thin AP is powered on, issuing broadcast probe messages, which carries the MAC Address and model of itself.
Broadcast probe messages can also carry the information such as the sequence number of super thin AP, VLAN ID.
Step 602: any AP container reception is to the broadcast probe messages, if finding itself to support the model of the super thin AP (or model+sequence number) then replys a response detected message to the super thin AP, and the message is with carrying the MAC of this AP container Location.
Response detected message can also carry the information such as access capability, present load, the VLAN ID of AP container.
Step 603: super thin AP receives the response detected message that each AP container returns, select an AP container as oneself Work AP container, sends image request message to the work AP container of oneself, which carries the MAC Address of itself, type Information such as number (or model+sequence numbers).
Specifically, super thin AP can select an AP container as the work AP of oneself according to the load etc. of each AP container Container.
Step 604: the work AP container reception of the super thin AP image request message, the model carried according to the message (or Person's model+sequence number), corresponding image is found in the image packet saved in the Flash of itself, which is carried Super thin AP is sent in image response message.
Specifically, AP container is when receiving the image request message that super thin AP is sent, according in image request message Found in the image packet that model (or model+sequence number) saves in the flash of itself corresponding image return to it is super Thin AP.
Step 605: super thin AP receives the image response message that the work AP container of oneself returns, and is carried according to the message Image, formally start itself operating system, establish control and data channel with oneself work AP container.
Step 606: after the control and the success of data Path Setup between super thin AP and the work AP container of oneself, the work AP container creates corresponding virtual AP process at itself for the super thin AP.
As it can be seen that AP container can be for the super thin AP for each establishing control and data channel with oneself, in itself creation one Virtual AP process.
AP container and super thin AP establish control and data channel, and AP container itself is creating virtual AP for super thin AP After process, which, which can represent the super thin AP and AC, establishes CAPWAP and is connected to.
Fig. 7 is that the virtual AP process on AP container provided by the embodiments of the present application establishes the method stream that CAPWAP is connect with AC Cheng Tu, the specific steps of which are as follows:
Virtual AP process on step 701:AP container issues CAPWAP join message, the source IP which carries to AC Address is the IP address of AP container, and source port number is the UDP port number of the virtual AP process.
It should be noted that if virtual AP process has obtained the IP address of AC by static or dynamic mode, Then be used directly the AC IP address to corresponding A C issue CAPWAP join message;Otherwise, virtual AP process issues broadcast Then CAPWAP discovery message selects one, to institute in returning to the AC in CAPWAP discovery response message The AC of selection issues CAPWAP join message.Preferably, the AC's that virtual AP process can be saved directly using AP container itself IP address.
Wherein, the specific implementation for the IP address that virtual AP process obtains AC by static or dynamic mode can be found in 3.3 chapters of IETF RFC 5415.
Step 702:AC receives the CAPWAP Join message, returns to CAPWAP join response report to the virtual AP process Text.
Step 703: virtual AP process receives the CAPWAP join response message, and the CAPWAP between AC connect foundation.
In step 702~703, DTLS (Datagram Transport can also be established between virtual AP process and AC Layer Security, data packet Transport Layer Security) encryption connection, to guarantee the safety of CAPWAP connection.
After CAPWAP connection between virtual AP process and AC is established, virtual AP process can request config from AC (configuration).
Step 704: virtual AP process sends CAPWAP Config (configuration) message to AC.
Step 705:AC receives the CAPWAP Config message, returns to CAPWAP config response report to virtual AP process Text, the message carry the configuration informations such as radio-frequency configuration, pass-through mode configuration.
It is identical that radio-frequency configuration information with existing AC is handed down to the radio-frequency configuration information of Fit AP, comprising: SSID, transmits and receive telegrams Rate, the power etc. of text.
Pass-through mode configuration includes: the VLAN ID for supporting to concentrate forwarding, or/and supports the VLAN ID locally forwarded.
In addition, CAPWAP config response message can also carry the configuration informations such as speed-limiting messages, bandwidth restricted information.
